How is alqueda related to Islam?
They don't. They claim to be Muslims but they broke the first rule about Islam which is "Never harm". The Prophet said "He who kills a single person, kills all people" and it doesn't matter what race/religion that person is. The punishment of murder is death in this life and hell in the next. Muslims are also encouraged to respect and help any other living thing on this planet like plants and animals.

Are the taliban sunni Muslims?
Answer:The Taliban do adhere to the fundamental principles of Islam, so they are, technically, Muslims. They do not violate any principle belief, or religious practice.HOWEVER . . . . they are not properly educated in Islam, and they are very reactionary. They clearly do not understand that a lot of what they are doing is simply wrong, in Islam. That's why they do incorrect things - like attack girls' schools, etc.
What are some differences and similarities between the wars of Iraq and Vietnam?
Answer:1. There are some tactical parallels between Iraq and Vietnam. However, these two countries and conflicts might have taken place in an alternate dimension. In Iraq there is no Ho Chi Minh and no NVA.2. The social dynamics of Iraq and Vietnam are totally different. Iraq is an Arab Tribal Society and the conflict is more inter-comunal in nature. The Shia spend as much time fighting each other as they spend fighting the Sunni's.3. The only real and significant similarity between the two conflicts is the U.S. We learned allot from the Vietnam conflict. However, we did not learn enough since we made a number of the same mistakes.If I may add - the enemy is not as clear cut as you may expect. In Vietnam women and children were helping the Vietcong in attacks against the US and allied troops. There are similarities in that respect now as well.- Of course, on the tactical level this is a similarity. Of course I would explore the scope and scale of Vietcong employment of women compared with AQ and other groups. The employment of women in war is generally considered more repulsive in the Muslim. AQ's use of woman suicide bombers is considered repulsive by many men and women over there.The tactical similarities are not the key difference between Vietnam and Iraq, the operational and strategic differences are the key.Answer # 4 is a HUGE and all encompassing difference.Answer:Similarities:Both conflicts included the US.Both conflicts were wars within a country or a civil war (technically two at the time as Vietnam was then separated to North Vietnam and South Vietnam, but Vietnam had only been separated a few years).The US was offensive on both conflicts, meaning they were not attacked or provoked (contrary to popular belief, Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11)A dictatorship was included in both (North Vietnam, and Saddam Hussein regime).There was heavy civilian military involvement in both cases.Both contests lasted much longer than your average war.Both conflicts were extremely expensive (The Iraq War cost more though).Both wars held very negative poll results in the US by the end of the war.The weapons used in the wars were very similar (AK-47s by the Iraq/North Vietnamse forces, M-16/M-4 and associated weapons by the Coalition forces).DifferencesThe dictatorship won in Vietnam, where as it lost in Iraq.Vietnam was very much an equal battle. Although the North Vietnamse experienced much higher casulties, victories were shared.Iraq is often reffered to by scholars not as a war, but as simply a one-sided bloodbath, as the coalition held all the victories and Iraq had by far the majority of casulties.The Vietnamse War was a Coalition vs. Coalition conflict, whereas the Iraq War was a Coalition vs. Single Country conflict.Vietnam terrain is jungle and often includes rain. It also makes the use of tanks extremely difficult. Iraq is desert and has little rain. Tanks are very useful in Iraq, because of the lack of obstacles.In Vietnam, civilian military involvement was very much shared. There was even the NVA for the North. In Iraqi War, civilian military involvement is almost entirely towards the terrorists favor.Vietnam was part of the Cold War, whereas Iraq War had nothing to do with the Cold War.The Vietnam War was a much longer open battle, and was still continuing at the withdrawal of US forces. Iraq collapsed almost immediatly.
